2013 The Market faces a new future
Leeds is the city of a thousand trades. There's been a market here
for 800 years. Drawn from the words of the people who work in, shop
in and remember it in times gone by, this new verbatim production
tells of the big stories and even bigger characters held within its
walls.
In the Market at nightfall, there is a dark and silent world for
you to explore. In this promenade production, performers will guide
you around its hidden nooks and crannies, as the Market offers up
its secrets, its stories past and future dreams.
Performed by a company of professional and community actors, this
is a story about Leeds, its people and one of its most treasured
landmarks.
